You Can See the Number. You Cannot See the Reason.
Inverter and string monitoring tell you how much energy you are producing. They cannot tell you why you are losing it — or which module is responsible.
A Thermal Image Is an Indication. SunSniffer Measures the Electrical Consequence.
Drone thermography captures one operating moment — every flight brings a new viewing geometry and changing irradiance, temperature, wind and reflections. The images must then be processed and mapped to the correct physical modules. SunSniffer measures every monitored module continuously and builds the electrical history automatically.
In a published Helmholtz comparison, power-loss estimates derived from thermography carried 8.3% uncertainty — electrical losses below 5% were not reliably identified by the thermal assessment criteria.
No thermal signature does not mean no electrical loss.
Field Data. Lab-Referenced Comparison. Without Removing a Module.
Measuring a module to STC standard used to mean sending an engineer on-site. Manual, expensive, and gone the moment they leave.
A laboratory flash is a high-quality reference — but it remains a snapshot, taken outside the module’s connected operation. One measurement, one day, one weather window.
TrueSTC™ works differently. Because SunSniffer measures every module continuously, thousands of suitable data points accumulate across changing irradiance and temperature. Datasheet mode enables a fast start; individual flasher values strengthen the absolute reference — and the continuous history reveals degradation, cleaning effects and event-related changes over time.
When you need the number, it is already there.

Every Lost Kilowatt-Hour Has a Reason.
Module-level TrueSTC™ data shows which modules changed, how the loss develops and where action creates value — some losses you recover, others you watch.
The Loss Is Measured. The Fix Is One Question Away.
Performance is loss, reversed. SunSniffer calculates loss down to every module, through every string, up to the inverter — Ray turns that list into a prioritized maintenance plan, and the ROI planner compares each action with your economic threshold. Four clicks, real plant:
LossTrace decomposes loss module by module, up through every string, to the inverter — performance is simply that loss, reversed.

Silent Loss Becomes the Baseline.
Small unnoticed losses do not disappear. They keep reducing production every day, while new losses are added on top. Set the sliders to your plant.
The ROI planner combines measured loss, energy value, remaining operating life and complete action cost — and shows which losses to watch, remediate or replace under your own economic threshold. See how a measured loss becomes a maintenance plan ↑
Stop Estimating. Start Measuring.
The losses are already there. The only question is whether you can see them.
